Eaton CHPSURGE10 Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: CHPSURGE10
Quick Summary
CHPSURGE10 surge protection device from Eaton guards electrical panels against transients in industrial and commercial systems. This plug-on module addresses a common pain point: damaging voltage spikes that interrupt production, degrade sensors, and shorten equipment life. UL 1449 certification and the Type CH designation provide proven safety and compatibility, while 50/60 Hz operation supports global installations. The design supports a plug-on retrofit into Eaton CH panels, enabling fast deployment and minimal downtime. By shielding critical loads—such as PLCs, drives, and control circuits—this device helps maintain uptime, lowers maintenance costs, and supports preventative protection strategies for mission-critical equipment. Its compact footprint and documented specs make it easy to spec in projects and pass audits.

FAQs
To install CHPSURGE10, power down the panel, mount the unit as a two-pole plug-on module into the Eaton Type CH enclosure, and connect L-N and L-L per the terminal layout. Verify the footprint (4.63 in L, 2.96 in W, 1.48 in H) fits the space, then re-energize with a qualified technician. Follow local codes and electrical standards.
CHPSURGE10 provides 10 kA nominal discharge current, 20 kA surge current capability, and a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It protects L-N and L-L circuits, supports 50/60 Hz operation, and lists 150 V L-N and 300 V L-L maximum operating voltages. The device is UL 1449 listed and designed for Type CH panels.
Yes. CHPSURGE10 is a plug-on module designed for Eaton Type CH panels and CH series protection schemes. It integrates with CH enclosures and shares the CH family footprint, simplifying retrofits. It is not intended for non CH-brand panels, so verify panel compatibility before installation.
CHPSURGE10 is UL 1449 listed, providing recognized protection standards for surge suppression devices. While UL 1449 covers safety performance, confirm any site-specific data center requirements (such as additional EMI, grounding, or lease-line standards) with your facilities team. The device supports compliance within a CH panel protection strategy.
By reducing the likelihood of surge-related downtime and protecting sensitive electronics, CHPSURGE10 lowers maintenance and replacement costs for downstream PLCs, drives, and controls. Its plug-on design minimizes retrofit time, enabling faster protection deployment and predictable performance, which translates to reduced unplanned outages and improved overall system availability.
